    Just like last year the Chinese - Baoquan Coins have a large quantity of coloured packaged 2013 Lunar Snakes.

    And like last year, the Chinese release the 2013 coloured bullion coins months before they are released in Australia.


    Next month, November, Perth will release the coloured gold and silver proof coloured editions so I don't think you'll see the bullion coins released for sometime.

    I find it quite amusing how the coin no is 52022 when the mintage says 50000. I don't mind the green and gold which has some relevance to Australia.

    You see , I suffer from KRAFT disease

    Kant
    Remember
    A
    F___n
    Thing
    :p
    Or maybe " I don't want to remember " :lol:

    Here's my prediction on Snakes
    The Perth ANDA coin ( NO OTHER SHOW COIN WILL BE WORTH ANYTHING )
    1oz proof & the 3 coin set
    All the other "NEW" sets are new & the "real collectors " don't touch them
    I'm not touching any Lunar's myself ,unless the are SI ;)
    End of rant :eek:

    To be released! :eek:

    The Australian 6 coin coloured set.

    Due for release in Australia after the world is flooded with the Chinese releases.

    Itinery

    *Perth will issue the coloured bullion snake set in 2013. Price $5267 (50.65 oz @ $104 per ounce)

    *Once you have paid top dollar for your 6 coin set, Perth will flood the European market with rolls and rolls of coloured bullion coins!

    Now that's a plan! :D

    No coin show version will be worth more than release price. Of about 20 different proof, bullion sizes and bullion colour only ONE will be worth buying and that will be the privy version ASSUMING it releases $2-$3 above spot.

    ALL the others will be like buying a new car...... as soon as you receive it, its worth less than what you paid for it. NONE of these lunar snakes that you get in your hand will you be able to turn around and sell at a profit.

    There's absolutely NO reason you'd buy any.....unless your aim is to lose money !
